If you Google "senior living" in the Google™
search engine, you will be presented with listing of senior living
referral services and senior living opportunities in your region.

This is an area in which to exercise caution. The prominence
of these search results near the top of the list is not a measure of
their information content; most of these services have paid to have
priority listings.

Your caution should not end with critical analysis of the motives,
intentions, and financial interests of the listed links. You
need to continue to exercise care in deciding whether to work with a
given referral agency and whether to follow its advice.

As the California Assisted Living Association states: "Referral
agencies collect a fee either from the consumer or the Assisted
Living community the consumer eventually moves into.

"If the agency’s services are free to the consumer and instead paid
for by the Assisted Living community, consumers might only be
referred to those communities that are doing business with that
particular referral agency.

"However, some may refer you to all appropriate locations. Be sure
you understand how a referral agency’s payment process affects their
referrals."
